Scott,

 

You state,

 

"For apples I like temps at least in 50's, for peaches and 
apricots I like 70's-80's and for grapes I like 80's-90's."

 

Are these daytime high temps?  Minimum temps?  Daily average temps?  Where are you located?  When the temperatures reach these targets, do you have any danger of frost?  I find temperature targets to be confusing because in my climate, temps in the 50's will definitely have danger of nighttime freezing.

 

Another question.  Does frost/freezing damage/kill the new grafts?
